Okay I will have to agree that not giving it the signature lambo doors is bullshit but the rest I am pretty damn happy with.

i too have little respect for the gallardo. it should have never come out. they should have stuck to the murceilago only. and the styling of it, except for the rear, seems like there is no overall them. the murceilago is a solid design. the gallardo is just sloppy.

1/4 mile = 13.08 @ 109.89 mph
The quickest test I have seen was this one
Zero to 60 mph = 4.1
1/4-mile= 12.4 sec @ 118 mph
70–0 mph= 158 ft
300-ft-dia skidpad 1.00 g

The styling is great imo, like it much more than the comparible Ferrari. From a performance standpoint, the car could very well be embarrassed on the road often at the red lights.

At 150k+, I'm sure you could say you want steel wheels and they would be installed.

Limited Special Edition: Lamborghini Gallardo SE
http://www.sportauto.cc/Gallrdo_SE/Gallardo_SE.htm
Limited Special Edition: Lamborghini Gallardo SE
250 vehicles in an exclusive two-tone exterior design
Improved acceleration from 0-100 km/h in 4.0 seconds and improved top speed (315km/h)
The Italian sportscar manufacturer presents a limited special edition of its successful sportscar: the Lamborghini Gallardo SE.
The Lamborghini Gallardo SE (Special Edition) which is limited to 250 units is characterized by a two-tone body paint, an even more sporty interior and technical improvement.
The basis for the Special Edition is the extreme, uncompromising and unsurpassed Lamborghini Gallardo.
The Lamborghini Gallardo SE is equipped with a permanent 4WD, 6 speed gearbox, aluminum space frame, ESP and ASR, ABS, ABD, air conditioning, as well as two front and two side airbags.
The color range consists of six alternatives: two grey shades as well as white (Balloon white), yellow (Giallo Midas), Orange (Arancio Borealis) and green (Verde Ithaca). The roof, the engine bonnet, the front and rear spoiler as well as the two side mirrors are painted in black (Nero Noctis) making them stand out against the body color. The rear lights are slightly tinted. The newly designed “Callisto” rims give an extra touch to the overall appearance which is complemented by the colored brake calipers (available in grey or yellow).
The interior design sets forth the two-tone concept by having all piping and stitching matching the exterior body color of the car. The Lamborghini shield is embossed on the headrest of the driver and passenger seat. The Lamborghini script is preciously inserted into the dashboard. The carpets are black having the borders again matching the exterior body color of the car. Needless to say that the entire interior is handcrafted in leather partially perforated and of supreme quality.
The interior design underlines the new, more aggressive personality of this Special Edition. Exclusively for the Lamborghini Gallardo SE: an additional shield with the embossed vehicle identification number.
The limited Special Edition is richly equipped with standard features such as a rear view camera, which in combination with the build in multimedia screen facilitates parking. The sports suspensions with the sports steering wheel and in combination with the P Zero Corsa tire (specifically developed by Pirelli for more ambitious driving) are all standard features on the Special Edition. The long list of standard equipment comprises also an exclusive car cover.
Upon request a vast range of additional equipment is available. A customer can choose additionally the robotized gearbox e.gear, as well as a navigation system (depending on the country), heated side mirrors, fully electrical and heated seats. A winter package (heated seats, side mirrors, heated wash jets, rubber floor mats, 12 Volt outlet), and a lifting system are also available. Standard tires instead of sports tires can be ordered without surcharge.
The Gallardo SE benefits from several technical modifications:
The gearbox is now equipped with shorter gear ratios in the first five gears, enhancing the dynamic performance of the vehicle. The result is also shown in the acceleration from 0-100km/h in 4.0 seconds which improved by 0.2 seconds, achieving a top speed of 315 km/h versus 309 km/h previously. This is shown impressively on an e.gear equipped car with a feature called “thrust mode”, optimizing acceleration and gear change from a standing start throughout all gears.
The more direct and precise steering are additional modifications carried out to improve even more the superb handling of the vehicle.
The Gallardo SE will be available from September onwards.
In Europe it will be available at a list price of € 141.500, -- excl.VAT.

End result, he absolutely hated the car....wasn't comfortable in it (lot of people have this complaint), thought it felt disconnected from the road, some other issues as well.
For $170k, I wouldn't buy a Gallardo.

Lack of attention to detail. Look how the open-door-lever covers the tweeter (or whatever kind of speaker that is). That's not good for audiophiles.

the part where the shifter should
be (i didn't read the article so it might been 'splained in there) looks like a brick of cheese...and the e-brake reminds me of an umbrella for some reason, and i see like a saw handle or something on the door panel :shakehead

It comes in other colors:
I'd probably go with one of the grey shades.

^^^ oh true....
I love the treatment on the steering wheel though.... I predict that I would not refuse one of these, if it were handed to me
